FBI TO INDICT CLINTON FOUNDATION: US MEDIA BEYOND FOX IGNORE NEWS

Slog double-prediction right on the nose

This afternoon US Eastern Daylight Time, the American people are reading paper, TV and internet news sources that have deliberately censored one of the biggest stories of the new century thus far: that the country is on the verge of electing a suspected serial grand-scale corruption candidate to the Oval Office. It represents denialism on a greater scale than conservative blinkers about Richard Nixon in 1972.

Two days ago, The Slog made this observation about the Clinton corruption of the US Justice Department, and its duel with the FBI on the subject of the Weiner emails:

The FBI this morning leaked its intention to indict the Clinton Foundation. The indictment, if it happens, will be partly based on Weiner email evidence. The intention was leaked to Fox News, a Murdoch-owned entity. The Wall St Journal also covered the story. Murdoch also owns the Wall Street Journal.

Fox’s Bret Baier reported five important new pieces of information from two FBI sources:

1. The Clinton Foundation investigation is far more expansive than anybody has reported so far and has been going on for more than a year.

2. The laptops of Clinton aides Cherryl Mills and Heather Samuelson have not been destroyed, and agents are currently combing through them. The investigation has interviewed several people twice, and plans to interview some for a third time.

3. Agents have found emails believed to have originated on Hillary Clinton’s secret server on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. They say the emails are not duplicates and could potentially be classified in nature.

4. Sources within the FBI have told him that an indictment is “likely” in the case of pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, “barring some obstruction in some way” from the Justice Department.

5. FBI sources say with 99% accuracy that Hillary Clinton’s server has been hacked by at least five foreign intelligence agencies, and that information had been taken from it.

Yet incredibly, the reaction of the US Establishment media has been to ignore the development.

The New York Times led with ‘Hillary Clinton Holds Narrow Lead in New Times/CBS Poll’. But the LATimes gives Trump a 5-point lead

Time goes ‘Hillary Clinton the only choice to keep America Great’

The Boston Globe has ‘Trump has a lot to surmount for Brexit-like upset’

The Chicago Tribune doesn’t even mention it.

The Washington Post blanks it, although this front page ad amused me:

And Bloomberg has a lengthy oped about ‘the real election hack fear’ without once mentioning the five enemy hacks of Clinton’s laptop described above.

By contrast, online and/or alternative media like Zero Hedge, The Slate, pjmedia and even Yahoo cover the story extensively.

However, only Tim Graham at MRC newsbusters nailed what every American voter should be asking:

For nearly a fortnight now, The Slog has been asking in almost every US election posting, “Why has Murdoch swapped horses”? This too seems to be beyond the ken or interest of the American old media.

I shudder to think what Turdoch’s motives are. Equally, I am afraid to ponder what Roop knows about the Hillarybillies that we don’t.

My usual signoff to stories like this is ‘stay tuned’. This time I would add, ‘but not to liberal Establishment media’.

It pains me greatly that so many alt economic and political observers have gone round the bend on these Clinton scandals.

At least 50 George W Bush White House denizens used a server run by the Republican National Committee for large swaths of official business instead of the mandated dot gov server between the day the administration started until 2007. Subsequently 23 million emails went poof. This was a ‘scandal’ for a few hundred Democrats. No case opened so none needed closing. e

Already several gazillion words have been written on Clinton’s email account as if it means a thing. Nobody seems to care that her State Department became an official war department and took an active role in the destruction of three countries, Lybia, Ukraine and Syria. Instead we have this absurd obsession with the minutia of Clinton’s email server. Just shoot me.

Two things struck me today – 1] is anyone wondering just who is the woman Huma A, a critical figure in the current inquiry? Surely she should not just be a name in the drama but we should know a bit about her background. This is the rather shocking info I found:- http://pamelageller.com/2016/11/the-huma-video.html/
2] What is Damian Green (still in government in charge of the controversial DWP) doing in cozy association with Mandelson and the Britain Stronger in Europe clique of former Remain backers, funded by ‘unnamed business interests’ who brought the legal challenge to get parliament to block the start of exit talks with the EU.????
Isn’t he a trojan horse in very thin disguise?

I read that Dilbert article minutes after I posted yesterday. I liked it. re The Economist. I had a paid subscription to The Economist for 52 years. I cancelled it in September; partly because it seems to have switched sides and partly because I can now get an electronic copy for free.

There is so much information being leaked through Wikileaks that I am convinced that it is coming from US intel sources. Only they, through NSA resources can have acess to this amount of information.
The appointment of Kadzik as the DOJ’s representative on the Wiener emails has got to show the absolute contempt that the Obama administration has for judicial process or absolute fear about the implications.
I did read a rather cheeky article that if Hillary Cliton gets elected she could always grant herself a pardon. I doubt if Podesta, Brazile, Lynch et al would not be supportive as the whole story is clearly persecution of a white, christian women by a bunch of rednecks.

Clinton win = WWIII (see reported unprecedented build-up of U.S. warplanes on Diego Garcia.) as criminal fraudsters in the city attempt to get out from under trillions of unfunded derivative exposure. War is to blame for financial meltdown.
Trump win = immediate financial collapse as criminal fraudsters in the City and on Wall St. attempt to get out from under trillions of unfunded derivative exposure. Trump is to blame for financial meltdown.

Murdoch’s motive is simple: he wants to back the winner. I imagine that he knows enough about ‘pay to play’ to see that, even if she wins on Tuesday, Hillary would be a lame duck President from the start and one unlikely to see out her term.

There is another obvious point. If the Clinton Foundation is corrupt, the people it would be tapping for money are the likes of Trump and Murdoch. That would explain why Trump was so vociferous in his denunciation of Hillary, even before the FBI announcement last Friday. It would also explain why Murdoch feels that he knows enough to choose to switch horses in midstream.

It is hard reading the AM as most people thing you have a screw loose when you question the MSM. Easier not to think. But this election has brought home to me the bankruptcy of the MSM. When you have the Economist and FT supporting HC, well, you have to ask about the quality of their journalism. Either it is inept or corrupt. Then again, depends on which universe you inhabit and which version of reality you choose to see. maybe I’m just seeing dark shapes in the mist…http://blog.dilbert.com/post/152685424531/same-candidates-different-worlds

‘The revolution will not be televised’. The prescient words of the father of rap ,Gil Scott-Heron.
The revolution is in play. On one side are the Mainstream Media supporting the Deep State candidate Hillary.
On the other is the guerrilla alternative media and its representative Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks among others.
The MSM are not concerned about news sources, they make it up as required to undermine their target. They also use that most pernicious tool of propaganda, that is non-reporting of real news.
Wikileaks is supplied by Whistleblowers from inside the agencies of the NSA, CIA ,FBI, etc,
They are patriots who are sickened by the corruption and warmongering within the US State apparatus and Corporate & Foreign State financed think-tanks
They can not raise their heads above the parapets. Obviously to do so would result in victimisation and imprisonment, as we have seen with Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden and Assange incarceration in the Ecuadorean Embassy.
Information dissemination is the modern form of warfare. Distraction by irrelevancy is the enemies tool against this truth telling.

I also set up Notepad or similar before I post, which is why I came here to comment, except of course that many of us have had the same experience. Five minutes ago I was about to comment on a Facebook thread (political, but not radical) when my comment vanished before I could press Enter. Strangely enough, the thread I was commenting on has also vanished into the ether. Never existed, according to FB

If it get blocks – back up then copy, paste into a document then the fun begins.

Figuring out the bits they don’t want you to say but you are allowed to think.

Oh and got caught on a new one earlier … wondering if they are using human moderators, posted a link … nothing happened. Thought Oh well, one more quick try it went through but the other one appeared with a long delay no notification.

@The Irritating Flea – me too! If I want to write something these days I type it up on Word first then copy and paste. If it gets flung back at me I go through it and alter those bits which may have upset the WP anal retentives and have another go … may be worth a try.

With so little reporting of the email and foundation scandals in the most popular press, the people in the US are still finding the facts, and it appears to have motivated some to vote.
If enough people vote against someone, it will be a new era in politics, no matter which way the vote goes. But this election has an anger component that is growing.
The leaks by FBI personnel that their investigations are being stifled are the worst part of this, because only dozens of people are implicated including the AG and the FBI director charged with the new investigation, a friend of the Clinton campaign manager.
Yes, we have no bananas.

I seem to be living in parallel worlds; one described by the MSM and the other by the AM. I am aware of both views and have to make judgements as to what might be true and what not likely to be true. I don’t believe everything that is in the AM but there is, I think, much truth in what is being said. If I try to discuss some of this with friends they look at me strangely and go quiet. They buy into what the MSM say 100% and the rest they dismiss as conspiracy theories. I am amazed at the power of the MSM to bamboozle people. I regard myself as being fairly grounded, clued in and a middle of the roader. But I am at a loss to explain things these days. Back to LR6, Spanish and Bridge review. At least I am more or less on solid ground there.

We live in interesting times. The polls seem to routinely over sample democrats – those that adopt balanced sampling put DT ahead in key swing states it seems – hard to get reliable info. Like Brexit, I expect a phalanx of voters to come out for DT who normally would not vote and the polls don’t include. HC is unpopular so that will depress her vote. The youf who support HC wont vote when push comes to shove as they will forget. These factors will I think give a 3 to 5% boost to actual votes for DT over and above what the polls say. Offsetting this is a better organised democrat machine and of course voter fraud. My take is a Trump win. HC has insulted too many voters. There will be more revelations between now and polling day, though whether they will be reported is anyone’s guess. If she is elected expect a battle between the FBI and the Whitehouse/DOJ. It feels like the final days of a once great Republic.

Apparently the most unsavoury part of this story is the Wiener, Abedin, and the Klintns connection with the convicted peado Epstein. (Of course, Price Andrew was separately connected with him.) The Kltns could be facing charges on that account alone.

In any case, it won’t be over on the 9 November. Seems like it could go to the courts and possibly the House Of Representatives. Even conceivable that Paul Ryan is the POTUS. On the other hand, Trump is having the most amzing rallies as regards turnout – filling stadia and turning away crowds. His opponent cannot fill a high school gym. None of that is reported.

If this election has done one good thing, its show the “mainstream media” up for the complicit traitors they are. Even if Clinton wins, it will never be the same for them ever again. I’ve heard this from even the most ardent and pacified “citizens” over the last few months. They are waking up at an exponential rate, hopefully just in time.
